Thanks, Lisa! No doubt about it, the commercial aspect is big. Yet, despite the large numbers of international students, the commercial incentives don’t seem to work to make higher ed more inclusive …

Thank you so much Ingrid. It was a fascinating talk – particularly your point that the admission process and language requirements perpetuate the social disconnect between students by sorting them into categories. Possibly this was also raised in the discussion after your talk, but I find it interesting that the testing requirements also provide a very handy income stream for language testing facilities, many of which seem to be conveniently attached to universities.

Hi Lisa,
a recording is now available at


Enjoy! 🙂

Thank you for your interest, Lisa! We’ll see whether we can record it. If we do, we’ll post the link here 🙂
